Monuments

Churchyards and cemeteries

One of my first research activities was to head for the two cemeteries in Amble on a mission to track down the Turner family plot to check some information for my cousin and to see if I could find the Henderson graves that my Granny Webb used to take me to on her weekly flower visit. I amazed myself by being able to head almost directly to the Henderson graves even though it must be over 40 years since I went with my granny.

Both visits surprised me by turning up a lot more information than I expected and bringing many old memories of family and townspeople back to the surface. Since then I have visited more cemetries and have some interesting monumental photos from:

Amble West Cemetery

Amble East Cemetery

St. John’s church at Broomhill

Chevington Cemetery

St. Lawrence’s Church at Warkworth

St. Paul’s Church at Choppington

Lowick Church

Plan to start publishing some of the photos that have helped my research in the Christmas hols.
